Summary

Are you a construction company or a farmer? Register as a waste recovery company. The benefit? Registration allows you to avoid applying for an environmental permit. Registration is in fact equivalent to an environmental permit.

In Wallonia, this registration for the recovery of non-hazardous waste is issued under certain conditions. The SPW Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environment (SPW ARNE), and more specifically the Soil and Waste Department (DSD) will register you.

Our goal? To preserve human health and the environment.

RECYCLE YOUR CONSTRUCTION WASTE

During the waste recovery process, your waste materials are substituted for other materials or are prepared to serve a useful purpose. For example, you can use it as foundation or sub-base materials.

class B1 hospital waste: non-infectious waste from care units, consultations, medical-technical services and waste from medical laboratories

non-hazardous industrial and agricultural waste

Consult the complete list of wastes concerned in Annex I of the Walloon Government Decree of 14 June 2001 promoting the recovery of certain wastes.

This process is free of charge. Registration is granted for ten years. It is renewable. It cannot be transferred to a third party.
